What a great source of inspiration and knowledge!!! Really good quality print and finish. highly recommended for all creatives.Review by Bartek R.(Posted on 10/11/2015)

I really love the Digital Art Masters series

Value

As a product designer Iâ€™m spending a lot of time on the visualizations of products, ranging from handheld devices to trains. The huge variety of products and clients requires different approaches and visual styles. This is where the books I bought from the 3DTotal shop come in handy. I really love the Digital Art Masters series and I browse through them regularly for inspiration. What I donâ€™t like about the Digital Art Masters series though, is the different size and graphic design of the book and its cover. The first book is bigger than the rest and stands out next to them.Review by Bram Roelens(Posted on 25/08/2010)

A book that is excellent

Value

The Digital Art Masters: Volume 4 is a book that is excellent. Seeing what others who have the talent can do is truly inspiring. Each project is very well described; readers could almost reproduce the images themselves!Review by Samuel Bedard(Posted on 25/08/2010)

The Digital Art Master series are excellent

Value

I purchased all the Digital Art Masters issues (Volume 1 to 4) and some 3DCreative issues. The Digital Art Master series are excellent; I like the format and the quality of the contents. I love 3D art so Iâ€™d prefer more 3D content rather than 2D content. My rating for the DAM series is 4.Review by Daniele Cupellini(Posted on 25/08/2010)

i'm still loving the tech and the art

Value

It's allready the fourth in the the series and i'm still loving the tech and the art combined together! Looking forward at the fifth edition! ;-)Review by Remco van Triest(Posted on 25/08/2010)

I like the concept of these books

Value

I like the concept of these books, a mix between tutorials and showcase. This is a great adition to the serie with a good selection of works. Maybe a bit unorganized, mixing differents kinds of works in a apparently random order. But this don't reduce the value of the books, both for the expert and the apprentice.Review by Jose L. Garcia Fuertes(Posted on 16/08/2010)

a good series indeed

Value

"DA Masters is a good series indeed, but while all contributins are a pearl by themselves, they don't make a crown this time. I miss a thematical arrangement or a 2D/3D technical blend. Perhaps this one followed issue 3 too soon.
Still recommended, if you're after the pearls, or the whole series.

This very fine prints are favorite pieces of my collection. Get yourself inspired :). For beginners and pros too! I like the secondary enamel over the cover graphic too.Review by Rafael DÃ¡niel ZubÃ¡n(Posted on 16/08/2010)

Far best I ever saw!

Value

"These 3D books by far the best I ever saw - perfect! A must have for every 3D artist and a great source of new inspirations. Great renderings and also a lot of very good information about the workflow of other more impressive artists.

First I bought the Volume 2, but after the first 10 pages it was clear for me to buy every ""Digital Art Masters"" - Book.
